What do you think of Lighting it up?

It's been a bit over a week since the Light it up! series officially came out but these blasters have been available 2-3 months early. The Rayven is all new but the Lumitron is a repainted Praxis. We have reviews of the Rayven here and here. What do you think of the new line?

I think the Rayven is one of the best blasters to come out in awhile from Nerf. It gets great ranges, can shoot relatively quickly, is comfortable, and the clip system makes it's ammo supply variable for whatever you want to do. The Lumitron disappointed me since it's just a recolored Praxis, but at least it's still a good performing blaster. The Firefly Tech is neat in these and I think I'll like it more if the Clips and Mags were released individually later on.

I like these blasters quite a bit, and I enjoy seeing this sort of "spinoff" line of products that has more to it than new color schemes. As touched on above by Zook, however, support for the product line is the name of the game for me; I would prefer Light it Up doesn't just fizzle and die. In terms of realistic expectations, I'd like to see one more set of two blasters for this line and the release of the clips as individual products.
